| Age of Empires: Rise of Rome |
Heres some screen shots:
 
I will have more screen shots later.
Age of Empires is a really fun game, but the expansion makes it even better.
The New Stuff: Age of Empires Expansion: Rise of Rome was put together with some serious thought. That being said, what exactly do you get with ROR? Well for starters, you get four new civilizations: Carthage, Palmyra, Macedonia, and Rome. Palmyrians get trading advantages and tough villagers, Carthaginians have seafaring advantages and strong elephant units, Macedonians churn out cheap siege units and their Academy troops defend well, while the Romans are solid builders with vicious swordsmen, the dreaded legions.

Beyond new civs, we also get five new units and four new technologies. The new units include slingers, camel riders, scythe chariots, armored elephants, and fire galleys. Slingers are tool-age missile throwers that I didn't use very much. In fact, the way the game generally plays, I rarely build many tool-age troops to begin with. They don't upgrade much, and fall before higher-level units quickly. They do get bonuses against archers, which may come in handy against the early archer rush. Camel riders are quick defensive troops. They do extra damage against all cavalry, chariot, and horse archer units. These fast troops make excellent scouts and they do a fantastic job of protecting your siege weapons from cavalry attacks. The scythe chariots are my favorite new units. They're tougher than the chariot, fast, and make excellent priest hunters. But beyond all that, the units look really cool. They're also good units for a low resource game. When gold is in short supply in the latter stages of a long battle, scythe chariots can be produced from simply wood and food. Armored elephants are exactly what they sound like, elephants with armor on them. They get more hit points and make good building-crushers. The only new naval unit is the fire galley. They act as dock killers and ship defenders. They're quick, and they fire short-ranged but heavily damaging fire spouts. While they won't stand up to much of a pounding, they can tear up docks and naval forces in a hurry if used properly. These units give civilizations who don't get triremes a fighting chance on the seas

Heres some tips:
Don't waste your time with slingers, upgraded archers are eventually far more effective.
Any civilization with superior barracks units becomes twice as dangerous with the logistics technology...i.e., upgrade to legions when you're playing the Romans and you can churn out hordes of real tough infantry.
Because of their limited range, control your fire galleys in small attack groups of three or four, this way you won't waste their potential by sending a large group at one attack point and having many of them cluster ineffectually.
